Best new Android, iOS and Windows Phone games for March 2014

This is our selection of the best games for the month. Stay tuned for our picks for best Android, iOS and Windows Phone recent apps.

We have picked the cherries out of the three largest mobile platforms for the very best new Android, iOS and Windows Phone games for the past month, and now it's time for a wrap-up. March was another fascinating game for games with more amazing titles launching than we can count, but we had to narrow it down to a reasonable number, filtering only the very best..

We have been seeing this trend of developers releasing their games simultaneously on Android and iOS for a while now, and the practice has become so widespread now that we actually unite the two platforms, showing you the best games for both of them (rather than splitting them apart). Apple's App Store still gets some titles exclusively, but that number gets smaller with every month. Interestingly, we continue to see the trend of paid games arriving as free titles with in-app purchases on Android.

Now, onto the games, we have some crazy and unique games this month, starting with our favorite mind-twisting Monument Valley, to some immersive zombie games that have more to them than you’d think, and Blizzard’s first mobile game. Games like Threes! have just arrived on Android, after being available for the iPhone for months, and it’s also made it onto our list. Windows Phone is trying hard to catch up with the big two, and it’s even scored an exclusive game this month, but the gaming situation on Microsoft’s platform still has room for improvement.

You can find our absolute favorite Android, iOS and Windows Phone titles right below, but we're also looking forward to hearing what you have been playing these days - speak out in the comments section below!

Threes! is one of the best designed games you'll find on mobile. It doesn't have flashy graphics, and the gameplay falls into the "easy to learn, but difficult to master" category. The game exudes personality in every aspect, and it is painfully obvious that a lot of love went into its development. The game is essentially a matching puzzle, and gets very complex very quickly.

Mediocre AB's Smash Hit is a cathartic, harmonious "smash obstacles in your path" experience. Available for free on Android and iOS, the game puts in you a Portal-esque test lab setting in pale colors and tasks you with throwing metal balls at fragile objects, such as glass pyramids, walls, and doors.

The Walking Dead game doesn't directly connect to the comic or the TV show, but does "foreshadow" those stories. Rather the games follow the story of convicted criminal Lee Everett and a little orphaned girl named Clementine. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, it’s up to you to save the little girl.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft allows players to engage in card duels against real or AI opponents. As you may have guessed, the collectible cards in Hearthstone feature heroes and characters from the Warcraft universe - Arthas Menethil, the Lich King, Thrall, and Jaina Proudmoore are all aboard along with the regular orc peons and death knights.

It has been over three months since ZeptoLab released Cut the Rope 2 on iOS, and the game has finally come to Android devices. The game is exactly the same as what you'd find on iOS with OmNom trying to get the candy through various physics-based puzzles. This time around you have helpers in each stage to mix up the gameplay a bit. The one major difference between the two platforms is that the game would cost 99 cents on iOS, but it is free on Android.

Broken Sword 5 is a 2D adventure game with mystery elements that came to life after it was crowdfunded on Kickstarter. In Broken Sword 5 - the Serpent's Curse, gamers take control of both George Sotbbart, an American detective, and Nico Collard, a French journalist. They find themselves amid a consipracy that involves some stolen paintings and puts their lifes in danger. The game comes with "slide-and-tap" interface and a context-sensitive help system, which enables you to get hints when you have difficulties with solving a given scenario. Broken Sword 5 – the Serpent's Curse is divided into two parts – by purchasing the game on iTunes for $4.99, players get the first episode. The second one is available only after you've made an in-app purchase.

There's a new Captain America movie on the way, which means we also get a new movie tie-in game. Last time, it was an side-scrolling auto-runner style game, but The Winter Soldier is taking the path of an action beat 'em up with a ton of in-app purchases. The game offers a combination of beat 'em up (where you get to kick the crap out of bad guys with Cap) and strategy (where you command sidekick soldiers.)

Sorcery! for iOS and Android is a four-part adventure set in a fictional world of magic and mystery. Instead of cutting-edge 3D graphics and realistic physic effects, the game aims to engage readers with its masterfully written narrative, leaving the task of visualizing the action to their imagination.

Little Big Adventure is an action-adventure role-playing game that was originally released on PC way back in 1994. In LBA, you'll play as Twinsen, a young man living on Citadel Island under dictator Dr. FunFrock's reign. This must be one fun dictatorship! Anyway, Twinsen has been having strange dreams in which his planet is about to be destroyed, and Dr. FunFrock doesn't find them particularly fun, which is why he throws our protagonist in an insane asylum.

Surgeon Simulator puts you in the shoes of a really clumsy and excessively uncoordinated surgeon, Nigel, who has to do his best and perform a life-saving operation on a rather ill-fated patient, named Bob. Successful operations in Surgeon Simulator are, however, not so common – most of the times, poor Bob gets sadistically butchered and usually meets his early demise in a pool of his own blood and shattered bones.

Not So Fast gives you the simple task of clearing your land from countless pixelated runners. With different new abilities gained as you progress, you get more and more ways to destroy each wave of running, jumping, and sliding foes.

In Machinarium you play as Josef, a little robot that boots up in a scrapheap after a long hibernation, and goes on an adventure like no other. The puzzler features a richly detailed, hand-drawn steampunk world, and an enthralling story that's told without any dialogue. It manages to be both friendly and desolate at the same time, and that's only one of its many fascinating contrasts and oddities.

Rayman Fiesta Run is a platformer game (released for iOS and Android several months ago). In it, players take control of Rayman, who has to jump'n'run his way to victory and collect as much Lums – the in-game currency – as possible.

Never Future is a top-down shooter set in a post-apocalyptic future where all the pollution that humanity spread on Earth mutated into horrible (and smelly) junk monsters. Yes, junk monsters, and we're not talking about relatives of Oscar from Sesame Street, but for trashy fiends that you should only approach with a loaded flamethrower.
